Recipe By : Cookin' Southern Vegetarian Style, Ann Jackson p71

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup nutritional yeast flakes

1/3 cup flour

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 cups water

1/4 cup soy margarine -- to 1/2 cup

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder -- optional

2 teaspoons wet mustard -- optional

 

Also in Heart of the Home, Ann Jackson (1995)

 

Yield: 2 1/2 to 3 cups

 

Mix the yeast flakes, flour, and salt together in a pan. Gradually

add the water while stirring with a whisk. Make a smooth paste and

continue adding the water until it's all used up. Place over medium

heat and stir constantly until the sauce stars to thicken and bubble.

Let it cook for about 30 more seconds. Remove from the heat and stir

in the margarine and mustard.

 

If you want a thicker, stretchier cheese, substitute 3 tablespoons

cornstarch and 1 tablespoon flour for the 1/3 cup flour called for.

Use 1/2 cup of oil instead of the margarine, and add as much as 1

cup more water at the end -- whatever is need to make a smooth,

pourable sauce.

NOTES : I got this recipe from The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook.It is a

book I would recommend to anyone who is into trying a meat-free,

dairy-free diet. It has lots of good recipes and explains how to make

your own soymilk and tofu at home. this is a recipe I don't know what

I would do without. You can use it to replace cheese in any Italian

dish like lasagne, zucchini Parmesan, or even pizza. It's a good

topping for stuffed peppers, hot sandwiches, or just plain with rice

or biscuits. I like to steam a whole cauliflower and ladle this sauce

over it. It also makes a great base for a casserole.

 

When using nutritional yeast be sure you have the right thing.

Brewer's yeast and torula yeast do not taste the same. Besides the

fact that this is delicious, it has more B vitamins than just about

anything else I can think of.

 

Don't feel like you'll be deprived if you go non-dairy; I have used t

his in place of cheese successfully every time I have made it. It's

the best
